I'd think the avg mailing list user is yuor avg e-mail user receiving spam mail. ;-) A few serious comments: - 25 questions is a *lot*, if you want people who are not interested in the operating of mailing lists to answer. - most people subscribed to mailing lists will be on some newsletter (not spam, this time, but real opt-in newsletters) which have nothing to do with computers. They won't even know what you're talking about if you're asking them about 'mailing list software'. For many small sites, not even the list admin will have any technical understanding. That said, any statistical data would sure be interesting - and I'm sure there's some people on this list with serious knowledge on surveys/statistics so you won't collect bogus data (or do you have that background yourself? Sorry if so). cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
